And work IS important when you're going off to college next year. You need money to go to school. My boss knows I have a mental disorder but he doesn't know what.
I'll also talk to my doctor and see if he'd be able to write notes or not.

I know from experience that many schools are
not equipped to help students who have "invisible" disabilities. They can barely handle bullying... For example, if you're in a wheel chair everyone knows it. If you have bipolar, good luck. And this is even true in job situations.
But, the truth is that bipolar is a recognized disability. And you have your parents on your side, which is great. And no matter how hard they may try, sometimes they need to try harder and go above the school, such as to the district or even the county.
Also, because your absences are unexcused that's difficult, probably not much you can do about those. But, you should try to get an excused absence when you're not well enough for school. If your 504 allows for sick days, you should use them. I know it is hard but with your parents helping you fight, you know you're not alone.
